I am afraid the aluminum LS engine will really throw the bias off. I could move if forward 6-8 inches, but that is a TON of work.
summit has complete aluminum ls engine, coil packs to oil pan i believe for less than $7k

if you can get the weight bias close to 55 rear/45 front you are doing yourself a favor....
